Though on paper the movie sounds like a slick relationship comedy, it plays much more realistically.

Derek Elley, Variety

Most effective when the deceits perpetrated not just by Sam but by several others begin to take their wretched toll, and a real sense of pain intrudes.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out
